Hello friends. I am attempting to learn wonderful Dagster but am having some troubles with the

run_config

passing to

execute_pipeline

. The error I am getting i s:

raise DagsterInvalidConfigError(

dagster.core.errors.DagsterInvalidConfigError: Error in config for pipeline run_pipeline

Error 1: Missing required config entry "solids" at the root.

The problem appears to be that the config that is being passed to the

input_code

function is resolving as NoneType. I've read elsewhere that malformed returns cause the above error, and so it may be that

context.solid_config

is the cause, however this is a fairly minimal, modified from https://docs.dagster.io/tutorial/basics_solids. Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

from dagster import (
    execute_pipeline,
    pipeline,
    solid,
    String,
)



@solid
def market_iterator(context, market_now_is):

    market_mod = market_now_is + '_modified'

    <http://context.log.info|context.log.info>(
        f"Processing {market_mod}"
    )

    return market_mod


@solid(config_schema={"market_id": String})
def input_code(context):
    market_now_is = context.solid_config["market_id"]
    return market_now_is


@pipeline
def run_pipeline():
    market_mod = market_iterator(input_code())


config_dict = {
    "solids": {
        "input_code": {
            "config": {"market_id": "DATA"}}
    }
}


def batch_markets():
    execute_pipeline(run_pipeline, run_config=config_dict)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    batch_markets()

I actually just copied and pasted this script and ran it successfully on my machine without any issue

That is strange. Must be an environment issue. I'm on dagster==0.10.6. What version are you running?

ah that is because the CLI is trying to execute the pipeline and there is no config defined

Thanks, it's a lot clearer now. I thought that

dagster pipeline execute -f minimal.py

and

python minimal.py

were the same thing, but seems like they have quite different configs. Is there any benefit to not running the code from the python interpreter, aside from the option to use a separate config?
